To a restaurant with the group
2012-04-25. Many street were narrow. But they allowed to have cars parked on one side of the road. And the streets were one-way traffic

We should go to a restaurant in a narrow street (not this street) the GPS told that the bus could pass. The driver did test it in the afternoon and it worked. But the GPS was made for cars and not for buses.

There was a car that was broad in the evening when we were in the bus. And the buss could not pass. Our driver had to reverse the bus out of that narrow street and that went on well. But after that the bus was trapped because the street he need to use was one way traffic. And the other street was a street only for walking.

The Czech people in the shops and the street were looking at our bus both amazed and amused.
2012-04-25. Oh my! The Czech police came!
2012-04-25. A policeman came to our bus.
2012-04-25. After that the police had to stop all the traffic to drive in the one way traffic street and the bus was escorted by the police in the wrong direction.
2012-04-25. Here we were in that street. The other cars also had to drive in the wrong direction.
2012-04-25. The police escorting our bus. When we were out of this, an angry police said to our driver that he had to pay 800 Swedish crowns fine.
2012-04-25. The bus was damaged against a post. But fortunately the lamps still worked.

On our way home to Sweden we all in the group collected money so we got 800 crowns and gave it to the driver. He went so happy for our gift.
2012-04-25. We had to leave the bus in a street there the bus could park the bus and we walked some streets to the restaurant.

On this picture we got a drink.
